[PATCH RT] Only check IRQ Thread affinity update if CPU affinitychanged.

[Steven Rostedt]

This patch cleans up the softirq in hardirq change. The hard irq threads
pin themselves to one of the CPUs that the IRQ affinity is on.

This patch cleans up this by only updating the cpu affinity, if the cpu
that the thread is pinned on is no longer part of the IRQ affinity.
